Welcome to Phoenix!]]>Sun, 20 May 2018 15:28:47 +0000http://www.phoenix-rp.com/post/93049/#p93049http://www.phoenix-rp.com/post/93041/#p93041
Heyo! I'm Dylan, and I started roleplaying about 3 or 4 years ago, but I only started becoming really good at it in my eyes around 6 or so months ago.

I am interested in most any type of RPs as long as they catch my interest, which isn't very hard to do to be completely honest. I don't get to watch a lot beside the occasional drama, baby lullaby show or magical girl anime, due to other people in my household, but when I do get the TV I tend to try and catch up on either Supernatural or the Fate series.

Welcome Brad! Glad to have you with us. It is a great place to meet people that love storytelling and exploring their imagination. Found my wife here too. If you have any questions just ask.]]>Fri, 22 Dec 2017 20:39:30 +0000http://www.phoenix-rp.com/post/92527/#p92527http://www.phoenix-rp.com/post/92526/#p92526
Welcome to Phoenix! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I have to say, I'm pretty much behind on live tv, mostly watch things on Netflix or Hulu. I will say I am excited to see Bright, which drops on Netflix today!

Anywho!

We currently have three games running on our forum:ISS Dominator, a Star Wars Imperial Class Star Destroyer.Outbreak a zombie sim/game set in the year 2012 in and around New York City.Greenleaf Skyplex a Firefly inspired game set around a skyplex.

We also have a PARS wing, with two most Firefly inspired games/sim there: Akers Bluff and the Prinz Eugen.

Hi, I'm Brad. and I like to RP...I started playing on Gaia in 2006 and ended up meeting my now wife there. I have mostly played in fantasy settings and steampunk style settings but I enjoy just about any kind of story. I don't watch much TV right now but I have been watching a lot of anime again.]]>Fri, 22 Dec 2017 07:04:36 +0000http://www.phoenix-rp.com/post/92523/#p92523http://www.phoenix-rp.com/post/92500/#p92500
17: I played a sim with PARS at AJJE. Will I be able to continue it here?

All active sims from AJJE will be on our PARS wing. The inactive ones will still be available to reinstate and kept in our “Cryo-chamber”.

15: I would like to play in a game, how do I start?

You can PM the Sim Leader of the game that has caught your attention, or post in the OOC thread!

14: I have an idea for a Sim. What do I need to do in order to get the Sim up and running?

That is awesome! You can post a proposal about your concept in the Sim Proposal Forum. A proposal can start as a mention just to see if anyone else is interested, and can grow into an entire area of sims.

Here you can also state which of Phoenix's "PLATFORM'S" you would like you game on as well. (Forum or PARS).

Meta-Gaming is the frowned-upon convention of having your character know information that you yourself have gained from reading other posts but your character would have no idea about. For example knowing where something is or reading into actions of other players too deeply.

Similar to God-Modding but is sometimes considered more extreme. Power-playing often involves playing your character as being far more powerful than would be expected from the character type and/or more powerful than everyone else on the sim. An example of this could be a scientist who is able to out-solider a solider.

God-Modding is a term used for when a player assumes control of another player's character without consent of the other player. By dictating the outcome of a scene's actions the offending player acts as 'god' of the scene. This style of play is considered antisocial and is not encouraged.

example:

Joe punched Jack square in the stomach, knocking him down.

If the player of Joe posted the above, he is god-modding this scene because he is not giving the player of Jack a chance to respond to the punch.

corrected example:

Joe's fist struck out towards Jack's stomach.

Note: GMs have the right to dictate the outcome of a scene in order to keep the story moving and play fair for all the characters and can void or edit player posts, while Sim Leaders have the ultimate say and can void even the GM. If you feel you've been a victim of 'god-modding', let your GM and SL know.

XO stands for Executive Officer. As with COs the title XO refers to an in-game position, in this case second-in-command.

In sims where the CO is also the Sim Leader, the XO is generally appointed to their position by the CO and expected to serve as Assistant Sim Leader and take on some leadership responsibilities for the RPE. In other cases, the XO is just another role-played character with in-game leadership responsibilities but no more real life out-of-character responsibilities for the sim than any other player.
